One Nation requires donors at $3,000 fundraiser to sign confidentiality agreements

One Nation is organising an invite‑only fundraiser in Sydney that costs AU$3,000 per ticket and requires donors to sign non‑disclosure agreements (NDAs) covering any discussion that takes place at the event, according to reporting by The Guardian Australia.

The NDAs are intended to keep the content of conversations with senior party leaders confidential, a move described by the outlet as an attempt to “gag donors from ever revealing details of discussions”. The requirement has drawn criticism from observers who say it limits transparency around political fundraising.

The fundraiser is occurring as One Nation seeks to increase its profile in Victoria’s western suburbs, where the party has been gaining attention ahead of the state election. Analysts note that high‑cost events and promises of policy change could influence voters who feel disillusioned with the incumbent Labor government.

Critics argue that the use of NDAs at political events sets a concerning precedent for donor influence and accountability. No official response from One Nation or its representatives has been provided in the source material.

The Guardian article also references other political news items, including the administration of retailer David Jones and the conviction of actor Russell Brand, but those topics are unrelated to the One Nation fundraiser.
